How do I gradually increase a numeric variable?

Hello! I would gradually increase a numeric variable... I have a numeric Global Variable, for example equal to -300, and I want it after an event becomes equal to -600. Can I gradually pass from -300 to -600 in one second? I don't understand the lerp expression...

Thank you very much!!!

If you need to change from -300 to -600, that's actually decreasing

Try this:

X=X-300*dt

This should decrease X by 300 every second.

To stop after 1 second, you can either set a condition "If X>-600" or add Clamp() or Max() expression, for example:

X=Max(-600, (X-300*dt))

If you want easing effects (speeding up/down etc), you can install LiteTween behavior.

You're right sorry, the variable decreases!

I thought there was something easier

Meanwhile I try with your suggestions, thanks a lot. If you also have other ideas, write

I think I've succeeded with LiteTween!

LiteTween is an overkill for this task if you just need a linear change.

X=X-300*dt is the easiest formula

If you don't care about it taking precisely 1 second, you can simply subtract 5 every tick:

X=X-5

At 60fps it would take approximately 1 second to decrease by 300.

You can do this with lerp if you want, but you will need another variable "t":

t=t+dt

X=lerp(-300, -600, t)

Yes, at the beginning I tried with lerp expression.

But I don't understand the third value and therefore it didn't work.

I wrote:

Set X to lerp(-300,-600,0.5*dt), but the value changes immediately.

Same thing with:

lerp(-300,-600,1-0.25^ dt)

"dt" is frame duration and at 60fps it's always approximately 0.016

That's why your formula always returns the same result.

You can try this:

X=lerp(X, -600, 0.5*dt)

It still doesn't work.... But I'm fine with the LiteTween, for now. Thanks for the help!
